Sales Detail
Margate (Tas.) has an estimated 4,358 residents, up from 4,239 at the 2021 Census — a change of 119 people, or 2.8%. That puts 111 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
Based on an evaluation of ABS demographic updates for the wider region alongside newly verified addresses from AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Margate (Tas.) has an estimated population of 4,358 in May 2026. This represents a gain of 119 people (2.8%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 4,239 residents. The figure is derived from the resident population of 4,350 estimated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus an additional 43 validated new addresses since the Census. This population level translates to a density of 111 persons per square kilometer, indicating plenty of room per resident and capacity for future expansion.
The 2.8% post-census growth rate for the suburb of Margate (Tas.) is within 1.1 percentage points of the SA4 region (3.9%), indicating competitive underlying growth. Overseas migration was the primary driver of demographic gains, accounting for roughly 57.99999999999999% of all population increases in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. In cases where SA2 data is unavailable, or to model age cohort shifts after 2032, regional and LGA projections from the Tasmania State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as a base year are applied, adjusting via weighted aggregation from LGA to SA2 levels. Looking at future demographic trends, the suburb of Margate (Tas.) is projected to experience growth slightly below the national median, with aggregated SA2 projections indicating an expansion of 168 persons by 2041, representing a total increase of 3.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
64 new dwellings have been approved in Margate (Tas.) over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 3.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 7, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approvals mapped from local statistical data, Margate averages approximately 12 new residential approvals annually, with 64 homes approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 7 approved during FY-26 so far. With an average intake of 1.4 new residents per completed dwelling over those 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the local market appears well balanced in supply and demand, fostering steady conditions. Newly approved residences carry an average construction value of $452,000, showing a focus by builders on upscale, premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $2.6 million have been documented this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the locality. Margate registers approximately three-quarters of the per capita residential building approvals seen across Greater Hobart, ranking in the 33rd percentile of all areas nationwide. This suggests limited options for active buyers while bolstering demand for existing housing stock. Building activity also falls below the national benchmark, reflecting an established neighborhood structure that may have planning constraints. Additionally, recent residential construction consists entirely of single detached houses, maintaining the low density layout and appealing to buyers seeking extra space. The ratio of 511 people in the area for every single dwelling approval underscores the calm, low-key pace of local development. Projections suggest Margate's population will rise by 160 residents by 2041 compared to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Based on current construction trends, the supply of new housing should comfortably satisfy demand, providing favorable purchasing conditions and potentially supporting population growth that outpaces these forecasts.

Margate to Huntingfield Shared Pathway
Proposed off-road shared pathway for walking, wheeling and riding between Margate and Huntingfield. The jointly funded feasibility study has been completed and a preferred alignment identified. During 2024-25 preliminary design refinement was undertaken by Transport Services with Kingborough Council. As of July 2026, construction remains unfunded, while Kingborough Council is actively advocating for State and Federal funding and progression to detailed design.

Construction began in early 2025 and is expected to be completed by mid-2026, creating over 1,100 jobs during construction and operation.
Blackmans Bay Bluff Specific Area Plan Review
Kingborough Council is progressing planning scheme work affecting Blackmans Bay, including the Blackmans Bay Bluff Specific Area Plan and related Landscape Conservation Zone review under the draft Local Provisions Schedule. The current focus is statutory planning controls, community engagement, resident surveys and Tasmanian Planning Commission hearings rather than a confirmed capital works redevelopment. The review seeks to guide use and development while balancing residential certainty, scenic coastal character, bushland and landscape values.
Blackmans Bay Primary School Redevelopment and Expansion
Proposed redevelopment and expansion of Blackmans Bay Primary School to provide additional contemporary learning environments, upgraded administration facilities and shared school infrastructure to support future enrolment growth. As of the latest DECYP infrastructure program, the project is not listed among active funded capital works, indicating it remains a planning priority rather than an announced construction project.
Tasmania JackJumpers and Jewels High Performance Training Centre
Purpose-built high performance training centre for the Tasmania JackJumpers NBL team and Tasmania Jewels WNBL team within the Kingborough Sports Precinct. The facility includes two basketball courts including a show court, gymnasium, medical and rehabilitation areas, recovery facilities, administration offices, meeting rooms, merchandise shop and community basketball access. Construction commenced in June 2025 with works reported on schedule.
Illawarra Rise Estate
A residential subdivision referenced in the hills above Blackmans Bay, near Roslyn Avenue and Illawarra Road, an already well-established coastal suburb of Kingborough south of Hobart. An extensive search of developer, council, and property-market sources could not locate a live, publicly documented masterplanned project of this name, scale, or dwelling count in Tasmania; Illawarra Road and Roslyn Avenue in Blackmans Bay are fully built-out established streets rather than a new land release. The urls and developer originally supplied for this record belong to an unrelated Wollongong, NSW real estate agency and have been removed.This record should be treated as unverified pending a primary source.
2,250 residents of Margate (Tas.) are employed, from a labour force of 2,323. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 66.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,376, about 77% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The local labor pool is highly educated, featuring a strong representation of workers in essential service industries and a very low unemployment rate of 3.1%, based on AreaSearch's compilation of regional statistical data. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,250, while the local jobless rate was 1.3% lower than the 4.4% recorded across Greater Hobart. Labor force participation stands at a typical level, with 66.7% compared to 63.8% in Greater Hobart. Census statistics indicate that a modest 11.9% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are healthcare & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The community is highly specialized in the construction sector, employing workers at a rate 1.4 times that of the broader region. Conversely, healthcare & social assistance is less represented locally, making up 14.6% of jobs compared to the regional average of 17.3%. Comparing Census workplace data with resident population figures indicates that this mostly residential suburb offers few local employment options. Based on AreaSearch's assessment of SALM and ABS data for the broader statistical area, the size of the local labor force contracted by 0.2% and total employment fell by 0.8% during the 12 months leading up to March 2026, causing the unemployment rate to climb by 0.6 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Hobart saw a minor employment dip of 0.1% alongside labor force growth of 0.2%, resulting in a 0.3 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context on future labor demand. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce mix to estimate employment trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary widely. Weighting these projections against local industries suggests employment in Margate will expand by 6.5% over five years and 13.4% over ten years, representing a simple mathematical extrapolation that does not account for localized population changes.

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 43 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,239 at the 2021 Census → 4,358 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to May 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
